A Man United-Chelsea FA Cup final is still on the cards, after the
Premiership No. 1 and 2 won their respective replay quarterfinals on
Monday. Man U squeaked passed Middlesbrough 1-0 and Chelsea completed
its unlikely quarterfinal comeback by beating Tottenham, 2-1, at White
Hart Lane, thanks to fantastic strikes from Andriy Shevchenko and Shaun
Wright-Phillips.

Over at Old Trafford, controversy once again swirled around Cristiano
Ronaldo, who converted from the spot after being taken down in the area
by Jonathan Woodgate. After the match, Middlesbrough coaches accused
the 22-year old of diving to win the penalty, for which United
assistant Carlos Queiroz got involved in a tussle, and had to be pulled
away. The post-match atmosphere was even worse at White Hart Lane, as
Spurs fans ran onto the field toward the celebrating Chelsea players,
with one of them taking a swing at Blues midfielder Frank Lampard.

The FA Cup semis, against arguably more modest opposition, put United
and Chelsea in a good position to meet in the final. United, winner of
12 FA Cups, faces American central defender Jay DeMerit and Watford,
which is bottom of the Premiership, while Chelsea plays Blackburn, a
team it beat, 3-0, at Stamford Bridge roughly six weeks
ago. Read the original story...
